Because I like the way you put things and trust your opinion. Along with fanatec being on the fritz. I'll be purchasing this R9 in the foreseeable future. Keep it coming!!
Good stuff! I'm sure you'll be delighted! with your purchase, consider checking back to the video as I'll have an affiliate link you can use to support the channel at no extra cost to yourself, should you choose ofc. See you around!
I've been watching a lot of reviews for the MOZA R9 and this one was the nail on the coffin, I'll be purchasing this one soon too! Thanks a lot! subscribed!
The front mounting option sounds new to me. I don’t remember that being available at the V1 and also not at the initial V2 release. It might be a silent update happening around the same time as the release of the R21 V2 and R16 V2.
Hey, does someone know how to equalize the stiffness of an R9 between the very center and near the center? I try to mess with the settings but can't find a way to lower the difference. It's too light in the center and when I attack a high speed corner it's really difficult to turn the wheel just slightly, because there's a sweet pot where the really light center feeling (e.g. in a straight) jumps up suddenly to really heavy (which would not be a problem in handling, I'm strong enough :) but the moment when it alters is just annoying). Thanks for any advice.
@@JACKZERYT I dont have one but when I was shopping around, it was one of the criteria and the R9 was not front mount capable and actually even looking at your vid, I can see how that your sample has hex bolts inside the holes so I think the holes might just be for those bolts to hold in the front face, not a front mount thread.
Love the review Jack! I'd be very curious to hear your opinion comparing it to the new Fanatec CSL DD which I'd say is its target competitor and if Moza has as you say obliterated its competition. Being a Fanatec user, I'm naturally biased but open minded to hear constructive feedback comparing side by side to maybe make a change for something more than 8nm!
Thanks man!!I say the Clubsport DD+ is a tank. I haven't raced with it, but while moza beats fanatec on price and QR, I do think they're very similar and catering to a similar market, but with Moza offering the R21 at the same price as fanstec 15nm DD+, maybe it's the name being paid for? But I've yet to see both these wheels so maybe one day I can do a proper comparison
Nice review! My only complaint is against moza and how when you look up the r9 v2 99% of the pics show it only has 2 ports on the back for moza accessories but your base has 5 ports. So it’s confusing to customers!
I upgraded from R5 to R9 only cuz I got a hell of a deal and a R9+GS wheel+Fanatec V3 pedals for $820, all used listngs but new condition, pedals were new. I wanted a GT wheel.
Well that's a tough question, but I think Moza are trying compete with fanatec which is a huge market, and offer alot of variety in products while doing it. On the other hand, (and I could be wrong), Simagic are really making products for the enthusiasts and a bjt more of a niche market and I do believe they are trying to compete with big names such as simucube.
I own both Simagic and Moza products. Both are feeling very similar. Its your preference. Simagic also offers higher end products, but you gotta pay the price and thats another range. For the same Nm FFB, both are just fine. Personally i prefer by far Moza's Pithouse software. But Simagic's esthetic is better. Up to you what you prefer.
@@Arguyle20 lol well I've had both and they definitely DON'T feel similar unless similar is getting from A to B in a car vs a bus. The response, details, speed of the Simagic is significantly better. Encoders are also higher quality. Yea no, nice try though.
@@JACKZERYT I recently bought a Moza R9 V2, but I didn’t find the blue light like the one I see in the pictures. Go to Google and confirm what I am saying. I don’t know what the difference is between them.
Nothing negative to say about your review. I think you covered everything. You might want to look for a different way to show the equipment instead of resting it on a box which is sitting on your lap, maybe, but that's all.
Very true!!! And thanks for calling me on that, its just to heavy to hold for a while and I don't have a desk 😭😭, and the box wobble you can tell it'd on my lap too, still tho, I'm proud of the result, but I'll deffo find a more.sturdy solution! Thanks, thinking of it now, I've some neat ideas of a simple desk(ish) thing I can make.... check back in next week and we'll see what I came up with the for GS v2p review :))))))) Appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching!
Looking forward to your review of the rim. I have got the same and with high forces I can sometimes hear some cracking. Nothing serious, but I'm curious if you experience the same. My two other rims (the KS and the RS v2) don't have this issue. I'm very happy with my Moza equipment, though.
I really don't know how you think the R9 is not "enough" for you. I run @40% strength in game/100% in base settings, and any more...you just would not be able to turn it affectively, and I'm not weak. Maybe you turned it down and not realized it. I drive a sports car that does 155mph and no way does the wheel feel as strong even with R5!
@tigerbalm666 maybe in time you will realise.... When I got my Simagic Alpha Mini, I was terrified of the power, no I need to under use it not to clip... but strength is deffinatley a subjective thing hence why alot of content creators/reviews who have commented on this topic say the sweet spot is 12 to 13nm... Hence why I'm feeling like I missing a teeny weeny bit being stuck at 10nm. This would also be why they offer the R12 r16 and R21, for those who don't like Clipping but also who want to be able to use 12 - 15nm with massive head room. I've been looking at the Simucube 2 Pro for this very reason recently
@tigerbalm666 it's like your sports car that does 155mph... You don't need it but you want it, because your an enthusiast. A stronger feeling wheel gives more of a connection to the ground. And I think that's what is appealing.
"blows fanatec quick releases out of the water" Bro fanatec can't even be bothered to include a real quick release with your equipment you have to buy it separately for an extra charge 😂
R9 is the worst best option. Why? Because if you go for R9, that means you're willing to get into some serious force feedback... but the generally accepted sweetspot is between 10 and 15Nm. Then as your body keeps getting used to 9Nm, you will reach the feeling that your body could want more after you months. Then you realize the R12 was what you needed. If you go for R9, just go for R12. Thank me later.
10-15Nm might be the "sweetspot" for sweaty gamers that want to simulate a GT3 car but for everyone else, the "sunday driver" type of person, more than 5-8Nm is not necessary at all as it will be too strong to have fun but also will be a money waste
Let me know what you think of my review, I'm new to reviewing simracing products so all feedback is welcome!, Thx!
I just got myself the same bundle you just reviewed and I am so relieved to watch this honest opinion, good job mate.
Im deligthed your happy! Enjoy it, it's bomb!

Wish I could say see you on the track, but I'm in the western U.S. and my IR and SR for road is 56 feet below the basement floor with a c license.
Did you get it?
@LC-GT yes with the KS wheel, now i am saving for the CRP 2 pedals

@@carlos5136 ayy glad to have you around carlos!
Nice review there!
I do agree. A full metal body would be great. For a full feel all around.
this might be on the product list for the upcoming future nice review!!

I don’t remember that being available at the V1 and also not at the initial V2 release.
It might be a silent update happening around the same time as the release of the R21 V2 and R16 V2.
They made a refresh of the r9v2. Now It has front mount, the lighter shaft of the R12, it's shorter and there are more ports on the back.
@@samuelegallina3718 does it support V1 wheels?
As i can see the port at the back has ‘pedal’. Does it support with srp lite that comes with r3/r5 bundle?

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought the front four holes are actually just bolts that hold the front of the unit on, you cant actually front mount it.
No I believe they are threaded holes, are yours not threaded?

Probably old pics of v1 hanging around
picking one up this week moving up from a R5
You may want to think about the r12 instead of the r9
It can't be whole metal because, it has antenna at the back for wheel to connect 😉
I upgraded from R5 to R9 only cuz I got a hell of a deal and a R9+GS wheel+Fanatec V3 pedals for $820, all used listngs but new condition, pedals were new. I wanted a GT wheel.
So the differences are buddy?
Thx ahead!
How does it compare to Simagic? I feel moza are more entry to mid rather than mid to high end. No?

@@JACKZERYT it's all marketing hype to get you to upgrade 5-6 times for fear of missing out..that's how they make money.

It depends on game/sim. Done are very powerful... others not so much.
"blows fanatec quick releases out of the water" Bro fanatec can't even be bothered to include a real quick release with your equipment you have to buy it separately for an extra charge 😂
Thinking of pulling the trigger on a Moza R9 V2 with a KS wheel. Upgrading from a T150 and I got fanatec CSL elite v2 pedals a week ago

If I'm going R12 budget then I'm buying simagic alpha mini and gt neo wheel
Yup Alpha mini + GT Neo for me too. Plus better moza doesn't have as good pedals like the P1000
